Hi. I've used cfengine 2 for a couple of years. I am starting out with cfengine 3.
I've built and installed cfengine 3. Now I want to learn how to configure it. I started at www.cfengine.org. I've gotten to http://www.cfengine.org/pages/compare which is the first place with cfengine configuration code snippets -- but none of them work. For example: promises.cf: body agent control { bundlesequence => { webserver("on"), }; } # cf-agent cf3:/var/cfengine/inputs/promises.cf:5,19: syntax error, near token '}' !!! No bundlesequence in the common control body Summarizing promises as text to /var/cfengine/inputs/promises.cf.txt Summarizing promises as html to /var/cfengine/inputs/promises.cf.html cf-agent was not able to get confirmation of promises from cf-promises, so going to failsafe Can't stat file "/var/cfengine/inputs/failsafe.cf" for parsing !!! System error for stat: "No such file or directory" # Then I turned to the cfengine 3 reference manual at http://www.cfengine.org/manuals/cf3-reference.html BTW, this manual references cfengine 3.0.3 and I have 3.0.2 as the latest version. Why isn't 3.0.3 on the web site, please? Following the manual, I found the example *.cf files shipped in the "inputs" directory of the distribution tarball. Ok, I am rolling now, but just wanted to share my experience. It would help if the cfengine 3 reference manual was linked to from www.cfengine.org Getting Started page and the FAQ page, please. Yours truly, -at I tried the "Get Started" page, http://www.cfengine.org/pages/getstarted, but also no working code there. This is starting to get frustrating. Next, on the FAQ page, I find "What is the best way to learn cfengine?", with a link to http://www.sage.org/pubs/16_cfengine/ Well, I have 16_cfengine, it's from 2007 and covers cfengine 2, not 3. _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
